Description Sascha Hlusiak 2008-11-02 21:15:47 UTC

With hotplugging input devices, when I shut down my session by logging out of KDE, the keyboard and mouse are readded, so I have them twice in my system.

I'd be happy to see following patch applied to the 1.4 release of the xorg-server here, since I'm unable to use 1.5 because of an ancient nvidia card. I applied it locally and it resolves the problem.

Thanks,

I'm sorry but we won't fix bugs on xorg-server 1.4. And nvidia recently updated all of their drivers for older cards and those should work with 1.5.

Thanks
